People's Climate March - Southern Oregon

Southern Oregonians are coming together for a historic People’s Climate March for Climate, Jobs, and Justice on Saturday April 29th at Pear Blossom Park in downtown Medford.It will be the largest event of its kind in our region’s history – and part of a national day of protest. Like the Women’s March, there will be sister events throughout the U.S.

The march will begin where the program will be held: Pear Blossom Park at the Commons, Medford, OR (312 E 4th St., Medford) at 3pm ending at 6pm. The program will feature speakers, music, and information on how to get involved in working for climate, jobs, and justice in Southern Oregon.

Will you help support the climate movement in southern Oregon? We are seeking funding to help cover the expenses for the march. Our expenses will include city of Medford permits, travel for speakers, posters, flyers, musicans, restrooms, room rentals, advertisments, and art supplies.

The march recognizes that in these extraordinary times we must unite to address many of the interconnected issues that impact our communities. Community members, organizations, and elected officials are invited to join the People’s Climate March if they are interested in:

Demanding urgent action on climate change

Creating good-paying clean energy jobs in our region.

Stopping the proposed Pacific Connector fracked gas pipeline.

Safeguarding public lands, clean water, air, and fisheries.
